Alright, here's my problem:

I have written out the dialogue file for an NPC following the instructions of a tutorial. Everything (to me anyway) looks like it's in place, but WeiDU keeps stopping the install when it runs into commands such as "DO" and "EXIT". If I remove the first one, it will get a little further and stop at the next. I have no idea why this happens (as I'm a total newbie to this). I'd post my code into a PM for someone who wants to see it (and help, not just see it!!!)

Thanks,
Carnifex

Have you checked that area script in game? Make sure that your block is definetely there.

Also your NPC won't show up on coordinates you have in the script, as it aims on impassable surface. But don't worry the game will create him on nearest passable surface.

Coordinates - top left corner is origin of coordinates. X-axis goes to the right and Y-axis goes down ([x.y]). And minimaps are smaller than actual area.

You can determine coordinates:
1) in game - go to the desired location and press x, it will show the coordinates of your cursor in dialog window
2) use DLTCEP
